     | 8,440 views

    An All Saints’ Day sermon preached 11/1/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa. Some of the material is from a sermon by Rev. Tim Pauls.

    Today is November 1st on our calendars, but on the church calendar, today is “All Saint’s Day.” In the Lutheran church, we believe this is such an important day, that if November 1st doesn’t fall on a Sunday, we usually move it’s celebration to the first Sunday in November. It’s a day where we ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,614 views

    Why did Jesus say "I am the Resurrection and the Life?" What is there about that simple statement that can give us hope in a dark world?

    OPEN: A fellow preacher told me about a funeral that he once conducted. He said that “Doug" was 18-year-old biker who’d rode with a rough crowd. In fact the T-shirt they buried him in said it all: "Ride hard - Die hard". The funeral home was filled with bikers, the speakers boomed ...read more

But today I sensed the Lord telling me that I should change my strategy and take ...read more

    God's the most punctual person in the universe! The time of a sunrise can be calculated a thousand years from now to a milli-second! How strange and contradictory it is then, to find God being late.

     | 7,692 views

    Jesus has just said, "No one can serve two masters; you cannot serve God and money" (Luke 16:13). Then Jesus goes on to share his parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31). Paul's words to Timothy (I Timothy 6:6-19) support Jesus' claim.

    “Take Hold of Eternal Life” Amos 6:1-7; I Timothy 6:6-19; Luke 16:19-31 Proper 21-C, September 25, 2016 All three of the Scripture lessons read in our worship service this morning could easily remind us of that old adage: “You can’t have your cake and eat it too!” ...read more

    We have 2 advantages over non-Christians. Because of God's blessings in our lives, we are better off than many in this world, but we must be careful not to see ourselves as being "better" than others.

    For the next few weeks we’re going to be focusing on what can we learn from Scripture as it applies to a popular new TV series (now entering its 3rd season) called “This Is Us”. It’s been nominated for 8 Emmys because of the power of its writing and its acting, and it has literally brought many of ...read more
